Shaanxi is a paradise of food, Shaanxi cuisine is very much, in the Guanzhong area there is such a sentence, "Qianxian pot helmet Qishan noodles, Qinzhen skin around Chang'an" colloquialism, mipi is Xi'an Hu County Qinzhen made a delicacy very early ago, it looks a bit like Shaanxi Baoji dough, but in fact it is completely different, the rice skin is softer and stickier, and the dough skin is more powerful, the taste is completely different.
Rice skin is made of a local indica rice, this process is also relatively simple, it is first the indica rice soaked soft, then ground into a pulp, and finally steamed, and then with a knife to cut the whole rice skin into strips, mixed with salt, vinegar, and special chili oil, and then sprinkled with bean sprouts and cucumber shreds, stirred evenly to eat.
And the origin of the rice skin in Qinzhen is also very long, as early as the reign of Qin Shi Huang, because there was a year of drought in the Guanzhong region, the fenghe river lacked water, resulting in the rice in the area of Qin town in Huxian County dried up, the rice after harvesting could not pay tribute, just when the villagers were distressed, at this time there was a person named Li XII, who used this rice to make rice noodles, and then steamed out the rice skin in the pot, directly to Qin Shi Huang to eat this, and as a result, Qin Shi Huang ate it, praised, very much for Qin Shi Huang's taste, so there is now a famous snack." Qinzhen Mipi".
The origin of The Rice Peel in Qinzhen is like this, and it has an inseparable relationship with Qin Shi Huang, so from this we can understand that the Rice Peel in Qin Town has a history of thousands of years, and it is really a delicacy that has been handed down from generation to generation.
Qinzhen rice peel has two ways to eat, one is cold rice peel, one is hot rice peel, the two ways to eat each have their own advantages, but whether it is eating cold or cold, it is indispensable to chili peppers, chili peppers are the soul of the rice peel, Shaanxi's chili oil is soulful, eating is fragrant, so the production of chili oil is very exquisite, if the pepper is not delicious, then it will be very reduced, generally when making chili oil, you must use the fine red tip pepper, dry him and grind it into a fine flour, and then add a spoonful of hot oil to pour on the pepper noodles, At this time, the aroma of the pepper comes out instantly.
But although the rice skin is delicious, but its main ingredient is carbohydrates, relatively lack of other nutrients, such as protein, dietary fiber and vitamins, etc., if you only eat cold skin for a long time, it will be easy to cause nutritional imbalance, but when eating rice skin, it will also be paired with gluten, gluten contains a lot of dietary fiber and protein, so when eating rice skin, you can match gluten, bean sprouts and cucumbers, so you can play a good nutritional balance effect.
